Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 3

Chapter 489: Leo's Old Troubles

Even though Lisa had said it casually, Jennie did not feel assured at all. She held her hand to her heart that was beating faster and she had an unexplainable bad feeling about this as she pleaded, "Lisa, bring me with you, I won't make things awkward for you. I won't go in, I'll just wait outside and if there's nothing, then I'll come back! If not, even if you let me go home now, I'd definitely not be able to fall asleep!"

He saw the girl's unbelievably determined attitude but Lisa still held himself back, as if there was something he could not say.

"Okay?" Jennie tugged on the hem of Lisa's sleeves and was pretty much begging as she shook her head stubbornly.

Lisa frowned and his expression became more serious as he contemplated it. At last, he looked at her and chose his words carefully before finally saying, "Okay, Jennie, listen to me, Leo...he's not just having a simple fever. Actually, it might be a little serious! I can bring you along but you can't be too emotional!"

As soon as Lisa said that, Jennie's tears started to fall, "Leo is in a serious condition? What is it? How can he be in a serious condition when he was fine before? Didn't you just say it was only a fever? Why is the fever serious? And you said you weren't lying to me! Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

Lisa did not expect that Jennie would cry instantly and he did not know what to do. He quickly told Cheng Feng to drive to the old residence while he fumbled for tissue to let her wipe her tears. He said helplessly, "I was afraid that you would be exactly like this, so I did not dare bring you along. Look at you, we're not even there yet and you're like this. How will you be when you see Leo later?"

Jennie cried even harder and could not even speak coherently anymore.

Lisa's heart was about to break at her cries and since he was not good at cheering people up, he could only hug her in his embrace and pat the back of the sobbing girl. "If I knew, I wouldn't have told you..."

He did not expect that Jennie's reaction would be even worse than he thought!

In front, Cheng Feng who was driving was also shocked speechless. He was not only shocked because someone with a strong personality like Jennie could display such a vulnerable side but he was even more shocked by the gentle side of his boss...

He had really broken the record today with these new insights!

What shocked him the most was the fact that the feelings between the two of them were really like a pair of husband and wife who were worried for their beloved son...

Not a single feeling of violation...

Jennie was already feeling remorseful. Why had she only seen Leo in a rush when she sent Lisa to the old residence back then? She had left so quickly. Why didn't she care for Leo more? Why was she afraid of contacting Leo too much for the sake of the two oldies? Why was her skin not thicker?

After crying for a long while, Jennie finally recovered from her emotions and she begged, "Lisa, don't keep any secrets from me, I want to know!"

Lisa replied, "Then, you must promise not to cry anymore."

"I...can't promise!"

Lisa buried his face in his hands. Finally, he could only compromise and he tried his best to explain in a gentle tone, "Actually, it's an old issue. From the moment Leo had that incident, he would have such outbreaks once in a while and a high fever is one of the symptoms. But what's different from the usual fever is that the high fever won't stop, no matter what. There is just no way to break the fever..."
